How To Identify Fake Carbon Fiber Sheets
Many manufactures of car parts are using cheap but poor quality fake carbon fiber sheet materials in their production. Many manufacturers and suppliers of automotive parts and accessories use the same material but do not bother to check the quality, resulting in poor quality products.
The OEM high-quality carbon fiber sheet is extremely durable and strong. It can also resist corrosion and rusting. These sheets are also manufactured by the high quality industries. This sheet is manufactured in a number of grades, with each grade having its own characteristic properties.Most of the car makers are using this as the main material for their manufacturing. In fact, manufacturers prefer it because of its long-lasting characteristics and resistance to corrosion and rusting. OEM carbon fiber sheet is extensively used in the manufacturing of the car parts like the dashboard, steering wheel and the seat covers.
But, there are certain problems with these sheets which are not being observed by most of the automotive manufacturers. The main problem is that they have low tensile strength. Another important problem is that the OEM sheet has a high level of carbon monoxide which is toxic and poisonous to humans. This is caused by the gas that is released when the sheets are heated up.
The carbon fiber sheets also have a high level of humidity, which is usually found in the manufacturing areas. In this case, most of the manufacturers use these sheets only after taking into consideration the level of humidity in the area. They prefer the OEM sheets only because they are very inexpensive. In addition, most of the companies who are using these sheets make use of the cheaper and more affordable polyester which cannot withstand the harsh conditions of high humidity.
Manufacturers have the option to choose between the two types. If the manufacturer wants to purchase the high-quality and long lasting OEM high-quality sheet, then he should opt for it. If he wants to purchase a cheap, poor quality and cheap polyester, then he should opt for polyester. There are many dealers selling both types of these sheets. So, when shopping for such sheets, the buyers must know the specifications of these sheets before making a purchase.
The fake fiber sheets do not have any type of markings on them which would help the users identify it. They also do not have any kind of marking on the sheets and hence the users should be careful while selecting a sheet.

Most of the fake sheets are not made of carbon fiber sheets but of wood. So, these sheets will have a natural look. Such sheets can be used for different purposes like replacing the original sheets or simply decorating the car. They can also be used for the roof of the car. But, the best part about these sheets is that they are extremely light and cost less compared to the original ones.The fake sheets are available in different colors. Some of these sheets are available in gray and other in white color. The dealers may be able to select the color according to the specification of the buyer and also according to the specification of the car.
If the user is not very sure about the specifications of the sheets, he can select black colored sheets for his car. Though, the price of these sheets is slightly higher than the original ones.
Many car owners prefer to buy the original ones rather than the fake ones. Some of the customers like to replace their old sheets with the new ones which are available with them.

Hence, if the owner of the car should buy a new set of sheets then he has to pay a lot of money.
